Grades 1-5, Win/Mac
A terrible tragedy has occurred! The King of the Kingdom of Azon has been poisoned while trying to protect the rainforest from being cut down! Now you, with the help of Professor Roberts, must find the crystals in the middle of the rainforest to save the King! Hurry there isn�t much time! The Crystal Rain Forest V2 is a comprehensively updated multimedia version that features stunning graphics, animation, sound effects and full narration. The adventure introduces, develops and teaches Logo with all the appeal of the original adventure and much more.
Logo is a simple computing language that was originally designed for teaching of mathematical ideas to children through computer programming. However, its flexible nature allows Logo to be used creatively and imaginatively as a teaching and learning resource across many different subject areas. It lends itself especially to problem solving. Crystal Rain Forest V2 introduces and extends the use of Logo and encourages the development of the skills required for effective problem solving.
The program is available in three different modes. The first, Adventure Mode, has been carefully designed to integrate the challenges that appear in the activity mode with the adventure and developing story line. Activity Mode presents a series of 12 focused activities that are accessed in isolation from the adventure. This enables teachers to adapt the focus of learning to the specific needs and requirements of each pupil. Teacher Mode gives teachers quick and easy access to the activities at each of the available levels, with additional tools. This mode will be particularly useful to teachers wishing to use the program as an interactive teaching resource.
Teacher options allow the manipulation of turning talking logo, and narration on or off. Teachers can also select levels, screen mode, or determine access to adventure, activity, and teacher modes. They also control access to the Crystal Logo application. Student records are also available to track student�s progress. Crystal Rain Forest V2 is perfect for whiteboards!
